You'll have to set the 'mediafiles.storage.dir' property in your
roller-custom.properties file to point to the place where you want uploaded
images stored.

Hi All,

I am running apache tomcat 6.0.33 and have installed Roller version 5 onto
the server as in the installation instructions.
The JVM is for java 5.0.


I have created a blog and have a post.

However I cannot upload media files to the server because the path to the
image folder is not known.

If I look in the roller.log for what happens I see the following :

            Invalid path [/usr/local/cpanel/base/*${**
user.home}*/roller_data/**mediafiles/**trialsandtribulations], directory
doesn't exist.

If I look at the variable used for the search folder I see :

            IndexManagerImpl:<init>  - index dir:
*/home2/marcusb/roller_data/**search-index*
I
So the search folder is set correctly but the Image directory is not.

I have run the roller with an image directory defined in roller.config and
also without one defined.

What roller does is always insert this ${user.home} variable in instead of
translated it as it has done for the search folder
ie it should be looking at /home2/marcusb/roller_data/**mediafiles/
   instead of /usr/local/cpanel/base/*${**user.home}*/roller_data/**
mediafiles.


Anybody got any ideas on this ?

kind regards
Marcus
